finally? lol... this is my 2nd bloom run (using the Indo-Gro lamps) that i'm posting here...
perhaps you weren't one of the 'usuals' around here when i originally posted this video from the last run, when i was harvesting the last OL (Purple Durban Poison)
[video=youtube;_lVhK6yv4r0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lVhK6yv4r0[/video]
just re-posting that, because i don't want you thinking that we are heading into uncharted territory here...
she is sublime... i've been hanging on to my last 2 tops nugs of her... her aroma is so florally clean and subtle... very hard to describe. very slight muskyness, a little citrusy... sorta fuel-y, kinda burnt rubber candy... when you break a nug open and take a deep whiff, the soft main note sits really high on the nasal septum, with the citrus notes filling the whole of the nostril, but subtle... not overpowering. certainly unlike other herbs i'm more familiar with.Ahhhhhh forgot about this PDP beauty.............did you ever give a smoke report on her??..........was it a yowwwwza??
cheers Buck!Heya spliff u noticing the plants are flicking over to flower quicker like inda gro says? cheers buddy!
heya! Been busy man the indagro's have been pushed back a few months just too much happening moving interstate etc etc.. Dont worry OZ will have some soon enough god i love the lamps!! I love lamp lolcheers Buck!
i documented the day that the ladies crowned floral tops the time around, i forgot to last run... that would only have shown one data set for only the WF... so that wouldn't really count. aside from that it is showing, this time, that the strains have their own timetables, but thats to be expected.
i still have the hps in the garage, but i really have zero plans to use it, even for a side by side... what i have noticed is that the plants tend to grow in all stages faster with these than with HID or other fluoro lights that i have used (t5 & t.
so, hows your friend's quest for the 420s going? i wanna see the sunlight in a box® shine on the land down under!
Actually, although this thread is about Inda-Gro, I'm still just talking induction regardless of brand. I have a company I'm looking at that I can get a 150w or 200w lamp and driver for ~$180. I was thinking about using that to replace the ~150w PLL set-up in my flowering tent. The induction lamp would be 2700k. I'm not ready to sink the $$ into an Inda-Gro until I can see what induction can do vs. lower wattage (per lamp) fluorescents in a fairly direct comparison.I wonder...I have a homemade fixture with ~150w of PLLs. It is only for two plants. Would a single 150w induction give equal coverage with more penetration?[/QUOTE
You'd have to decide between the 100 and the 200 since IG doesn't make a 150. The 200 does a very nice job in small tents and I like them to maintain my mothers. I use the 100 for my clones. Since the phosphors are all the same its just a relative intensity difference between the different wattage's. And it never fails. When the babies move to the 420 they waste no time in developing dense root structure and tight internodal spacing.
I think you would be more than impressed with the 200 in terms of canopy penetration. A single 200 will cover up to a 4 x 4 area but if you are flowering with just the one 200 then the area coverage at week 9 to finish will drop to a a realistic 3 x 3 area since you'll bring the light to within a foot of the canopy.
Going to the beach today with my new puppie. This outa be fun. Later all
With all due respect BJ, kelvin has nothing to do with PAR Watts, DLI, or PFFD. Regardless whether we're talking LED or EFDL here, if you spend $5 (Chinese crap)or $500 (US crap that started out as Chinese crap) on a wasted test, than your comparison is for naught. For example; I can guarantee you that most of the LED forums that I see on RIU where the poster is complaining about stretching, slow bloom, or deficiencies in a strain they know should be producing better by their past experiences under HID would be AMAZED at what adding just a 100 watts of a broad spectrum phosphor blend would do to change the plants condition when absorbing spectrum's they were simply missing under narrow band LED panels.Actually, although this thread is about Inda-Gro, I'm still just talking induction regardless of brand.

I hate to say this, but posts like this is what got you called out the last time. Anything other than Inda-Gro = shit, according to your prior posts. Please be careful or you will tend to make people distrustful again.As long as your buying China direct, which this YML brand is, just protect yourself and make sure they provide you with the actual UL file number and that they will completely cover their lamp drivers under a warranty that involves your installing their lamps and drivers in your own customized housing design. Most of the time the Chinese blame any driver component failure on your housing designs lack of thermal management in keeping the driver away from the hot (93C) lamp. Also be careful of the RF wires sticking out of the side of the driver. They're carrying around 200v RMS as they run to the coil connection and should be shielded to protect from EMI and potential shock.
Good luck and we'll look forward to an upcoming RIU journal.
cheers
Mate chaz is simply straight up and honest whats ur problem? the chinese panels are junk period... I could go on and on dude first hand u wanna see if a t5/t8 can keep up with a Inda Gro! A Hps hands down would smash a t5 setup... And Spliffs 600 has been put on the backburner so i dont see how u get the equation of a comparative grow Inda gro vs t5 would be beneficial.. And distrustful pfft you sound like a kid honestly! more like a tin-ass who wants something for nothing 24/7 365 days a year... Dude i suggest u stick with t5's cause u aint doing this thread any good with negativity u want proof inda gro's the shit? GOOGLE MY FRIEND! Peace!I hate to say this, but posts like this is what got you called out the last time. Anything other than Inda-Gro = shit, according to your prior posts.

Yeh the fucking point hey!Uhhh it is an Inda-Gro thread and I thought I was helping you out.
Good luck in whatever you do.
Buck, you've been pretty much showing you have not been able to experience the Inda-Gro products yourself. So why are you so gung-ho about defending something you have not even experienced personally?Mate chaz is simply straight up and honest whats ur problem? the chinese panels are junk period...

Thank god!I'm out. I tried to give the benefit of the doubt after my initial speculation about Inda-Gro. Chazbolin ruined it for me. I will no longer participate in this thread, to the delight of some who want to sell a product it seems.
So how are your Inda-Gros performing, Buck?Thank god!
classic brahhhhhhh!So how are your Inda-Gros performing, Buck?
Dude I'm not 'shitting on other suggestions'. Go for it and post your journal. I'm just saying I would rather have a light that goes through the battery of tests that go with a UL certification, which Inda-Gro has, than a $25 BBB membership from a company that does not go through these safety tests. You burn up a tent and the POPO come.Company that sells the lamps I was referring to = Better Business Bureau accreditation
Company that sells Inda-Gro lamps = no BBB accreditation
Chaz, stop shitting on other suggestions, I think it is good to look into alternatives in this fairly unknown technology.
